I still remember the first time I learned about the concept of memory loss: an old episode of Full House. Michelle Tanner fell off her horse and hit her head. While the unrealistic production of Hollywood quickly gave the Olsen Twins their memory back, that’s certainly not the case in reality. I take photos and keep visual journals to look back on in later years. As the world rapidly shifts into a digital landscape, I feel that it is important to keep physical art alive, especially photography. We are losing something that a computer screen can not capture. I shoot film because it makes me think more about what I am taking a picture of. On an analog, there is no delete button or viewing screen. There is so much more intent when taking photos on a camera than on an iPhone. There is no SD card; as the photographer, I must keep my own memory card. When producing work, sustainability is also at the back of my mind. I collect food labels and cut up newspaper articles. I believe in the importance of sustainable creation. I want to tell a story through my art that also has the power to make change. As a current Photography and Related Media student at the Fashion Institute of Technology, my studies provide me with a solid foundation in both the technical and conceptual aspects of photography. Over the past few years, I have had the opportunity to showcase my work at David Zwirner, the Tribeca Community Space, and I most recently signed with VFA Gallery. I am passionate about using photography as a tool to bring attention to untold stories. I seek to highlight the world around me through the lens of a Jewish female artist living in New York.
